Dear Families,

We wrapped up Term 1 with an explosion of colour and fun at our Colour Fun Run—a perfect way to celebrate the end of a busy and successful term!

Thanks to your incredible support, we raised over $20,000 to go towards new chilled water fountains for our school. This amazing effort wouldn’t have been possible without the enthusiasm and generosity of our families, students, staff, OSHC staff and wider school community—thank you!

Wishing everyone a safe and relaxing break. We can't wait to see you back in Term 2!

Warm Regards, Rebecca

Today the year 3 and year 4 classes attended an assembly run by the Power Community Youth Program. This assembly was the culmination of the Year 4 classes participation in the program over the last few weeks.

On Monday, the students of Yarlu Learning Hub had the opportunity to participate in The Wellbeing Show. The children were engaged and involved throughout the presentation. It was a combination of fascinating stories and interactive songs and skits. A great presentation.

The Year 4 students held a fun bake sale to learn about money and making change as part of their maths lessons. By pricing, making, buying, and selling tasty treats, students got real-life practice with counting coins, adding totals, and giving the right change. It's a hands-on way to build confidence with money skills while enjoying some delicious rewards. Thank you to all the families that supported the students with their project – especially those who were up late baking due to a power blackout!

At Brighton, break times are a fun and exciting time where students can enjoy a variety of activities. Many children love spending time at the LEGO club, building creative structures and working together with friends. For those who enjoy being artistic, the craft clubs, on Tuesday and Thursday, offer a chance to make fun projects. Other activities include game playing, construction and a disco on Friday lunches which is always full of energy, with students dancing to music and enjoying the lively atmosphere. These activities make break times not just a break from lessons, but a time to explore creativity, socialize, and have fun.
